Hello,
I am currently undertaking an analysis of my qualitative interview data with an approach informed by grounded theory but have no substantive theory to guide me whcih makes me feel very nervous as I noticed that most phd thesis seem to have had a fairly solid theoretical framework to guide their analysis from the outset, even in seemingly inductive qualitative studies. Coincidentally, I originally began thinking I would adopt a narrative (identity) approach but have since changed gears and so I have some very rich life story data but just feel really nervous about approaching it so inductively...granted, I am guided a bit by a more general interest in the concept of identity. Has anyone had similar experiences???
